[Public-List] Mast Rake

[Michael Grosh via Public-List]

Regarding #3; are you talking rake or mast bend? I can see bend flattening
the main to improve pointing, I can understand no physic reason for rake to
do that.
I do see chronic weather helm changing the function of the Alberg's barn
door rudder from steering to braking.

pointing ability, especially in a dinghy.  Down wind performance is
affected negatively, but as a racer, think about it, 2/3rds of the "time"
on the race course you are going upwind and 1/3rd downwind. I would rather
error toward the up wind performance side of things.
